And MOST IMPORTANTLY state specifically what specific policies that politician is advocating that makes them far left or ultra-liberal and thus out of the mainstream.

We have all heard that GOP talking point. We have all heard some Dems repeat that talking point as if it were true, even here on DU.

If you think Howard Dean is far left. Please state what specific policies he advocates that are in any way, shape or form far left or ultra-liberal.

I would grant that Dennis Kucinich can be fairly called left by U.S. standards. If you consider him far left. Please state what policies he advocates that are far left or out of the mainstream.

We have all heard it said that Dukakis and Mondale lost because they were ultra liberal or even far left. Could anyone state clearly what specific policies Mondale or Dukakis advocated that were in any way, shape or form ultra liberal or far left or out of the mainstream??
